    Changing ALL System Fonts


    Hi all,
    I had a quick question about altering fonts in Windows 7 I was hoping someone could give me a hand with. I have a touch of OCD when it comes to consistency and am having trouble changing the system fonts globally on my machine. I have changed 80% or so of them through the registry entry (found here):

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

      [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts]
      "Segoe UI (TrueType)"=""
      "Segoe UI Bold (TrueType)"=""
      "Segoe UI Italic (TrueType)"=""
      "Segoe UI Bold Italic (TrueType)"=""
      "Segoe UI Semibold (TrueType)"=""
      "Segoe UI Light (TrueType)"=""
      "Segoe UI Symbol (TrueType)"=""
      
      [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes]
      "Segoe UI"="CUSTOM_FONT_NAME"

    The only issue I’m having is that the font is not adjusted in a few other places. For example, if I right-click on a file and look at the properties window, the font is still the default system font.



    I’ve changed both the registry entry and the window fonts under “Personalization” to what I want but can’t seem to figure out how to change this font.
    I’d be eternally (or close to it) grateful to anyone who knows how to alter this font.

    The answer was to modify these entries in the registry:

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes]
    "MS Shell Dlg 2"="Font Name"
    "MS Shell Dlg"="Font Name"
